Daily living – How to Make Meal Times Easier

tenura-at-mealtimesEveryday life is full of little challenges and tasks which the healthiest and able-bodied people find difficult or tiring. These tasks include Hoovering, cooking, hanging the washing out and many other tasks in day to day life.

All of these tasks are important in day to day life but can be tiring and difficult to fit into a busy lifestyle. These tasks become even harder when suffering from impairments or diseases such as Arthritis, which affect your grip and motor functions. Suddenly these tasks are near impossible without strain on muscles and joints, usually accompanied by lots of pain. This can pose a threat to your independent living and general lifestyle. Luckily, Tenura has a wide range of products which can be combined to help in all areas of the home.

In this blog post, we will be focusing on how different diseases and motor impairing injuries can affect a very important part of daily life. How to make mealtimes easier!

Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, mealtimes can be stressful and exhausting, especially with a young family. There can be spills, stains, arguments and tears. This is something we can all do without, especially when hot liquids or food can ruin clothes, burn skin or make a big mess which someone (usually you) will have to clean up. Tenura can provide high quality daily living aids designed to prevent spills and stains, make cutlery easier to hold, and keep plates and dishes steady.

 

Rectangular Mats

Tenura rectangular anti slip mats create a strong non slip grip with any flat surface they are placed upon, and any object placed on its surface. This will help to keep plates, dishes, and bowls at the dinner table from sliding, helping to prevent potential spills and stains. These mats are constructed from an anti-microbial silicone, meaning no bacteria or germs can harbour or grow on this material. Tenura mats are also very easy to clean, a simple application of soap and warm water will be more than enough to clean off any dirt or grime that may build up after a prolonged usage. After this material has dried, it will regain all non-slip properties, allowing it to be used again and again.

Coasters

In day to day life, we all have clumsy moments which can lead to spills and stains which you have to clean up. We have all knocked a fresh cup of tea or coffee all over the floor. Tenura coasters are there to safeguard against this problem by creating a surface in-between the cup and table and stop the cup from moving. Unfortunately if you have a coaster on a particularly shiny and slippery table, this can move around and slide, potentially spilling the cup, mug or glasses contents all over your table, work surface or breakfast bar. This can not only create one big mess, but could lead to slips and falls which could lead to serious injury.

Thankfully Tenura has a wide range of silicone anti slip coasters, in many different sizes and shapes, designed to prevent objects from sliding around and accommodate all size of cups and mugs. Tenura square coasters are made from a silicone rubber, meaning they have excellent grip qualities.

This allows the cup or mug to be moved anywhere around the house without needing a coaster or cover to prevent damage or spillage on surfaces. Tenura cup holders can be applied and removed from cups with ease without leaving a residue. This product can be washed and used again and again once dry.

Tenura coasters are a great help in day to day life by providing a strong non-slip surface to rest all manner of containers and cups/mugs on, preventing them from slipping and sliding which could cause spills and stains.

Spillages are a common nuisance in day-to-day life, creating a mess that can take time and effort to clean up. Spills can also lead to slips and falls, which can cause serious injury. Diseases like Parkinson’s and Arthritis make people very prone to spills and messes due to the effect the disease has on their movement. Luckily, Tenura has created another daily living aid. It has a strong non-slip surface and works well when placed under your cup or mug. It’s a Tenura Cup Holder!

Tenura silicone antimicrobial moulded cup holder works just like a regular drinks coaster but it's fitted to the bottom of a cup or mug. This allows you to take an anti-slip grip drinks holder wherever you need it, helping to prevent nasty spills and stains in day-to-day life. Hot liquids can create very unpleasant spills and messes, especially if spilt on yourself or others. Tenura cup holders can provide a firm non-slip surface to help prevent this from happening. The silicone drinks holder will also catch any small spills, preventing stains on clothing, fabrics, or tables and chairs.

Tenura cup holders can be applied to the base of many cups or mugs with ease, take your cup or mug and slip it into the seat inside the cup holder. Your Tenura silicone drinks holder will then form a non-slip grip underneath and around the cup, preventing it from moving. Silicone cup holders will also form a strong grip with any flat surface it is placed upon, preventing unwanted movement, which could lead to the cup being knocked over.

CupCap-Drinks Cover-On CupTenura cup holders have antimicrobial properties, another brilliant benefit! No bacteria or dirt can grow or harbor on Tenura silicone. A combination of hot water and soap is more than enough to keep a silicone cup holder clean and hygienic, ready for its next use. Tenura cup holders are also made from 100% non-toxic silicone, meaning no harmful chemicals like phthalates are present in Tenura cup holders, keeping you and your family safe from the damage these chemicals can cause.

Tenura CupCaps are a great product to combine with Tenura cup holders to help prevent spills and stains when lifting and drinking from cups, cans, and mugs! CupCaps create a strong seal over the top of most cups, mugs and glasses, preventing the liquid from spilling while allowing you to drink through a straw that can be placed through a small eyelet in the middle of the CupCap. This can be done by simply stretching the silicone CupCap over the top of a cup, mug or can. Your silicone CupCap will then form a strong grip with the sides of the container and stop liquid from spilling out.

Tenura cup holders can be found in red, blue, and yellow.

CupCaps can be found a pack of 2 (1 x 80mm CupCap & 1 x 60mm CupCap) both in a translucent blue.
